Who can be trusted?

Webinar: Predatory Journals and Conferences

Presentations at renowned conferences and publications in recognized journals are the currency of science. For you as a scientist it is important to make your research visible and to publish your findings. This is what dubious organizers and publishers try to exploit with fraudulent publication offers.

However, it is not always easy to identify the black sheeps of scientific publishing. In our webinar you will learn how to identify and avoid dubious offers. You will learn about criteria for seriousness, evaluation portals and checklists. Of course there is also the opportunity to ask questions.

Information literacy in the workplace is a relatively new and increasingly important area of research in library science. Many libraries offer information literacy programmes in order to help students find, access and use literature for their studies and final papers. But to what extent does instruction in information literacy help people in their future employment? The seminar with presentations in German and English addresses this question.
